ABOUT US
We have always believed that when people gather, something softens. Walls come down, stories spill out, laughter travels between strangers, and suddenly the room feels fuller than it did a moment ago…
We design experiences that feel human, where curiosity leads the way and connection is at the centre of everything we do.
Dine Wilder was born out of a desire to bring women out from behind their screens, into real life, to touch, taste, see, and feel something real.
Today, Dine Wilder brings people together in ways that feel warm, thoughtful, and deeply connective. Every event is built from scratch, guided by a single purpose: to create moments that feel alive. We take simple spaces and turn them into environments that invite you to settle in, breathe, and savour everything unfolding around you. The details matter to us not because they need to be perfect, but because they help people feel held, welcomed, and seen.
Our gatherings are for
those who crave something beyond the screen, the scroll, the endless notifications.
They are for people who want to linger, to slow down, to taste, to notice, and to connect with the people around them. Some arrive with friends. Some come alone. Some meet for the first time inside a moment that pulls them together. That is the beauty of it. You never quite know who will sit beside you or what story you will walk away with, but you always leave a little more connected than when you arrived.
This is the world we are building.
This is a movement we are creating.
Linger a little longer, dine a little wilder.
“The problem solving together. The beautiful chaos. The feeling of watching an experience come to life piece by piece. The quiet buzz before the doors open. They’re the moments we live for, with event day being the cherry on the top”

Our Values
INTENTION
Nothing is accidental. Every element is chosen with care so people feel embraced the moment they walk in.
CONNECTION
We create spaces where people can show up as themselves and feel accepted for who they are.
CREATIVITY
Limitations inspire us. They remind us to look at things from new angles and find new ways to surprise people.
WARMTH
Hospitality is our heartbeat. We welcome everyone like an old friend, even if we are meeting for the first time.
DIVERSITY
Every table is richer when it holds different stories, cultures, identities, and experiences. We honour and celebrate the unique perspective every guest brings.
CURIOSITY
We follow the questions that spark something in us. That is where the most interesting moments happen.
